I used flat pack laser cut design strategies that results in pieces that snap together. I like that because it could in the future be turned into a kit reasonably easily, and in… Read More: POV Globe – The Mechanicals »

The fusion between mechanical, electrical, and firmware domains lead to some interesting challenges that are deceptively difficult to overcome. It’s a great project with a low barrier-to-entry, but it’s also easy to put your own spin on it. Heh.… Read More: POV Globe – The Software »
